Eh. It's death metal for people that don't like death metal. (At least their modern era) Not a surprise it gets hated on by the crusty old farts here.
New Septicflesh is dullllllllll. No weight to it, what little momentum they build up gets ruined by the symphonics; they'll be making some at least marginally interesting death metal, then go into strummed rock chords over violins. Pass. I do need to give their back catalog a better listen soon though. Also a horrible band live. One of the worst death metal bands I've ever seen.
hahaha pretty unequivocal there. I just explained my reaction to their music in another thread I think (I seem to be posting about them in at least three threads!), but for me, it's BECAUSE of the "strummed rock chords over violins" parts that I love them so much. Maybe the 'death metal' tag needs to be dropped in its application to Septic Flesh. I don't really see it as death metal because it's obviously shifted a long way from those boundaries. Comments like the new album having "no weight to it" and "little momentum" that is "ruined by the symphonics" make it pretty clear what some people like morguelord want (and don't want).
I listen to a lot of classical music too, as well as doom and gothic metal, so I'm like a pig in shit with the mix that is the last three Septic Flesh albums.
Does anyone like post Vitek Decapitated? I think it's fucking awesome. Carnival is Forever is a great album.
I don't like any of their stuff, and I genuinely tried.
Same. My farts sound better
I have a feeling that the band has since distanced itself from the album as being too slow and melodic, but are there any fans of Dismember's 'Massive Killing Capacity'? I've loved that album for twenty years. Also, 'Like an Everflowing Steam' and that guitar sound.
I don't remember what this is about.
